United States, the UK, France, Canada, and others have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon

Beirut August 04, 2024(QJ)  -Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for launching dozens of missiles at northern Israel. The group stated that this recent attack on northern Israel was a response to Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, which they allege injured civilians in that region.

Countries such as the United States, the UK, France, Canada, and others have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon “as soon as possible” due to escalating tensions and fears of a wider regional conflict. Many international airlines have also announced suspensions of flights to Israel.

The Iranian government and Hezbollah have indicated that they will soon respond to the Israeli airstrikes targeting southern Beirut, which killed a senior Hezbollah commander, Fouad Shukr, as well as the attack in Tehran that resulted in the death of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
